This Thematic Investing screener is an educational tool and should not be relied upon as the primary basis for investment, financial, tax-planning, or retirement decisions. This tool provides a sample of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that may be of interest to investors and is provided to customers as a resource to learn more about different categories of ETFs and the use of screeners. This educational information neither is, nor should be construed as, investment advice, financial guidance, or an offer or a solicitation or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, or to engage in any specific investment strategy. Additional ETFs available through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) may be found by using the ETF screener at https://www.etrade.wallst.com/Research/Screener/ETF/.

The themes included in this section are categories that may be of interest to investors. Morgan Stanley will review potential themes regularly to determine if there are new topics that may be of interest in light of industry trends, cultural changes, and technological developments and update the themes presented. Investors may learn about additional categories of ETFs by using the ETF screener linked above.

How ETFs are selected for a theme:

Morgan Stanley selects ETFs for a theme based on the following criteria: ETFs that satisfy a theme that also appear on the All-Star List are included as well as the top 3 performing ETFs satisfying the theme. At least 2 and no more than 300 ETFs are shown per theme. An ETF satisfies a theme if it appears in an ETF screener search using keywords in the fund name, fund category, or industry exposure for the theme. Exchange-traded notes and leveraged and inverse ETFs are excluded. To see the search and the entirety of the results of a screen for a theme, click on “Launch Screener” above the list of ETFs shown.

An Exchange-Traded Fund’s (“ETF”) prospectus contains its investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information, and should be read and carefully considered before investing. For a current prospectus, visit the Exchange-Traded Funds Center at www.etrade.com/etf.

ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified investments. Investing in ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. ETF shares cannot be redeemed directly from the ETF. ETFs are required to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year-end, which may be generated by portfolio rebalancing or the need to meet diversification requirements. ETF trading may also have tax consequences. An ETF’s expense ratio is the annual operating expense charged to investors.

All-Star ETFs are selected based on characteristics that make them most representative of a specific asset class or market segment based on the underlying index the ETF is seeking to replicate, as well as the ETF's underlying holdings. Additional factors that are considered in the selection process include historical performance, tracking error, expenses, and liquidity. ETFs chosen can be passively or actively managed, have at least 6 months trading history and are sponsored by a well-balanced investment firm. Inverse and leveraged funds are not considered.

A non-diversified investment in a significant portion of assets in one sector, issuer, geographical area, or industry may involve greater risks, including greater potential for volatility, than more diversified portfolios. This could cause performance to be susceptible to the economic, business, government regulation, or other developments that affect those industries.

Investments in small-cap companies typically have higher risk characteristics than large-cap stocks and may be subject to greater price fluctuations.

Then if you deposit an additional $300,000 into your new E*TRADE account, then you will receive an additional cash credit of $400 at the end of the 60-day window for a total reward of $1,000. If you deposit $500,000 or more in your new E*TRADE account, then you will receive two cash credits that will total $1,000 within seven business days after the date of your deposit.
